I had to laugh at that comment... my Nomad has had two chassis... 4 or 5 motors... carbed - TB injected - and 8 stacks - and a couple trannys. Once I did all the A/C with polished SS hard lines (ask me how that worked out
)...

In their defense... I forced them to let the car go before they had time to complete ANY shake down miles.... in my defense... The car was DUE May 1st for a planned trip on May 11th. If you (meaning ANYONE) work for me - regardless if it's a house remodel or a yard mowing job. A date is a date... and you'd better know that date is written and agreed upon for a reason. I do what I say I'm going to do... I expect the same in return. Super super simple.
I've built many many projects - 99% of them with my own hands... I've NEVER EVER had the issues this car had. EVER.
I did run out of gas once in the Nomad on the way to a GoodGuys show... after putting on the Imagine Injection 8 stack system. I had drained the tank and had added 5 gallons of fuel for tuning purposes. Got up early AM - washed the car - and proudly headed south... it burped and sputtered... and I'm running thru which wire that could be... and did I chafe one or burn something on the header etc... 'bout that time she just fell on her face. DOH! A tow truck is called... and after loading her up and strapping ourselves in the cab he says "so what happened?" As I'm explaining it - it dawns on me exactly what happened. I said - go down to the next exit and pull into that Chevron station. Filled up - backed the car off the rollback and hit the show. To this day - my "buddies" first question when we head out.... "YOU HAVE GAS"? I truly hate them...
